Dragon Knights #14
Gatekeeper
Two very special knights…
Scott and Rik are getting used to working together as a specialized team of commandos within the Castle Lair when they are sent north on a desperate mission. The throne of the Northlands has long been in the hands of usurpers, but now that the rightful heiress has been found – the knights are searching for a way to oust the enemy and put Princess Isabelle on her late father’s throne.
One very brave woman…
Claire is living in a castle under siege, hiding within the secret passages to do her duty and protect the location of the all-important gate. After witnessing the death of her beloved parents, she has stepped up to take their places as guardian of the gate and protector of the kingdom’s knowledge. She’s saved what she could of the archives and has stepped into her father’s role as Gatekeeper, all while remaining hidden within the walls of the castle.
Three who are destined to become one…
Even in her isolation, Claire has found a way to make allies - just in time, since every day, the enemy draws nearer to discovering the secret she is guarding. When she meets the knights, the attraction is instantaneous, but the danger is even more imminent. When Claire is captured by the enemy, it'll be up to Scott and Rik to storm the castle and free their lady love. They hope to claim her and make a family…if they all live through the perilous times ahead.

Another great addition to this series.
I’ve been anxiously awaiting the release of this book forever. Now, after having it for three hours, I’m anxiously awaiting the release of the next one. Its always the way!
Trying not to give anything away….
This one is set in the north again. The two dragon partners, Rik and Scott head north from Draconia after serious information is delivered to King Rowland by one of the snowcats. There they meet Clair who has been living and spying in the secret passageways of the castle Solamar lived in and is now occupied by Gebel.
It also sees the return of several characters from previous books who are almost more important than the main characters of this book. We learn a little more about Loralai and get some long overdue information about The Citadel.

Another great story in this series
I really liked how the heroine was so smart and her men recognized that as well. It was nice seeing some familiar characters in this story from previous books. My only complaint was the book was too short. I loved the cliffhanger at the end. I cannot wait to learn more about the north witch. I'm sure Bianca has great plans for her and I cannot wait to find out more.

This was FANTASTIC!
I loved every word. The only thing, which is always the same, it ended! I wasn’t ready to leave the castle and dragons yet! I never am. Bianca D’Arc has done it again and I can’t wait to see where we go from here!

Much shorter and tamer than previous books in the series but interesting to the overall arc to be sure. Scott, Rik, and Claire were sweet and fun but I'd have loved more time for their relationship to blossom.
Looking forward to the next book in the series soon.

The Gatekeeper has more information for the reader concerning the Citadel. Claire has been living within the hidden walls of the castle since it was taken over by Salomar and then Geber. Her task, protect the gate to the Citadel. Unfortunately, her time is running out and she needs help. She's able to get word to a few allies, but it doesn't look like they will make it in time. She's ready to do whatever it takes to keep the gate protected, even if it means her life.
This book gave even more information to round out the overall storyline. There are things that surprised me that came from this read. The flow is still the same as the other books in this series. There are a few people and dragons that are reintroduced and help to meld the other things happening in this world. Short story, but I think it will help bridge everything together in the end.

Dragons and wizards... More PLEASE
I LOVE DRAGONS! I read all 17 books in about 3 weeks. I couldn't get enough and then the last book Ended. I Need more!!! There are stories within the story that have to be finished. What happens to the North witch and her daughter? What about Tor? Who and where is his mother? I, we want more! Please tell me there will be more.
The books are Awesome. If you like dragons these are for you. What I found to be the best attribute was that the books storyline was continuous. You did not find yourself puzzled from the end of one book to the beginning of the next book! Fantastically Awesome. I recommend that You read these books

Another great read
I am truly loving diving back into this series... and now I'm on to reading the latest releases I had yet to read I am dying for the "north witches" book. I know Bianca is gearing us up for one massive battle, and while i don't want this series to ever end, i cannot wait for it. Keep writing Bianca... and quickly, please.

Astounding Read
This is one goid read! As all the previous books in the series has been. The interaction of the characters is so real. Even though it is a fantasy story it comes across as real. This is a series of books I truly wish I hard hard copies in my collection .

I loved this story! Claire is gutsy and crafty. She accomplished a lot at great risk to herself. The knights and dragons added another dimension as well as heat.

Nice enough filler novella, but a detour from the main story arc.
